Tep, did you get The Maleficent Seven (Tanith Low!) also? I'm a bit torn as to which to read first...
Read Maleficent Seven first. There's a Thing that is probably going to be relevant.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I mean, a few Things happen, and the whole story feeds into LSoDM (I'm guessing), but...yeah. Definitely a Thing.

I definitely respect the Things that can happen, judging by previous Things. Odd that that didn't occur to me even when I realized there was, in fact, chronological order to consider (which took me a while - I can't even explain that except that literally all I knew about The Maleficent Seven until I had it in my hands was that people who bought Last Stand of Dead Men also bought it (and who the author is, of course))

Is your Maleficent Seven book the hardcover with the pictures on the inside covers of the bad guys (front cover) and good guys (back cover)? I kept flipping back and forth between the text and the covers as more characters were introduced, so I could figure out who was who (some are obvious from the start, of course, like Tanith and Billy Ray Sanguine).

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I don't mind the repetition on the serials because it saves me the fuss and bother of going back to reread the previous chapter.
